Last week, Sen. Rob Yundt of Wasilla was spotted taping a harassing meme to the door of Rep. Jamie Allard of Eagle River. The meme referred to a legislative citation that failed to pass in the House regarding the founder and editor of Must Read Alaska. The citation passed in the Senate, but the Democrats who control the House refused to pass it.
Many in the building found it to be wildly inappropriate for the senator from Wasilla to harass another member, essentially defacing her office doorway with political commentary.
Then over the weekend, a legislative staffer for Rep. Alyse Galvin was caught slipping a harassing meme under the office door of Rep. Kevin McCabe. The staffer was identified, but no action has been taken to fire him.
Whether this is a becoming pattern of behavior by lawmakers and their staff members is unclear, as it’s just two instances in one week. But other staff members in the Capitol are reportedly offended that a fellow staffer could get away with such behavior without punishment or dismissal, and in the process making all staffers look bad.
Simply animals running the state.
Try restraining order and breach of ethics.
You are such a mendacious whiner.
Dems don’t control the House; the majority caucus does.
–
And the majority caucus controls the House because smart Republicans reject #magat, no-compromise, burnt earth politics.
Maybe you would have a better shot at a citation if certain rabid pols grew up?
Huh?
Marc what a “mature and measured” comment (sarc) NOT!!.
So you must agree that behavior like that, by staffers and a sitting legislator, is acceptable. It is quite clear that decorum and respect are sadly not in your vocabulary or apparently theirs. Visceral dislike, such as yours, is really counterproductive. Our republic was built on debate and disagreement, but we all need to remember that we are all Americans.
BTW Democrats do control the house considering there are 19 (yes I count the “unaffiliated independents” as most of them used to run as democrats) and only what 2 or 3 republicans….
…. and for the record, dumping on Suzanne was petty and childish. Clearly some can’t handle the truth.
Or, it could be that she’s a woman, a veteran and the Republican hustle is to take women back into the dark ages.
Okay my turn…HUH???
Esther are you talking about Jamie Allard? Have you met the lady?
Rob Yundt has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is NOT a conservative Republican, but a RINO in the vein of Giessel and Merrick.
It should further be pointed out that lately the ones attempting to erase women are decidedly of the progressive persuasion and your tired inaccurate stereotype doesn’t wash.
Actually Esther the women’s liberation movement failed to show up to defend women’s sports so say whatever you want your 100% wrong.
Dark ages? Can I get a date range please?
.
Because what I see is not some widespread conspiracy on the part of conservatives to subjugate women. At worst, the conservatives want women to be proud of choosing motherhood as a career. Whereas leftists, such as yourself, think a woman is somehow diminished if she chooses to raise her children instead of farming them out to a day care center.
.
If you really want to see a push to “take women back to the dark ages” take a look at everything your side of the political aisle does. Abortion on demand, celebrating sex work as a career, allowing men to physically beat women in athletics. How is that good in any way?
Well said, sir.
A monkey is a great avatar for you.
No. Definitely Ds in control, regardless of letter following their name.
It seems we have a bunch of juvenile clowns in the majority running the state.
This is typical Democrat behavior, especially if they don’t get their way. We have not yet learned the identity of the US Supreme Court staff who early leaked the Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade (part 2). That leak caused untold numbers of national protests and influenced a number of close elections. This was the intended outcome of the leaks. It most likely came from Sotomayor’s court staff, but the mainstream press lost interest in this matter long ago.
Apparently these well paid legislators don’t have enough to do since they have time to hunt up and stick memes on people’s doors. Your PFD cash is financing this. I bet you could find better uses for your money.
They aren’t smart republicans, they are liars. Donald Trump is still your president. Cry more, just do it somewhere else.
What do you expect from this cabal of extortionists, these ethnocidal genocide advocates extraordinaire?
Agreed, remove the homeless camp adjacent to West High School, by Dempsy and Romig. What’s the plan to have the homeless visit West side homes for sack lunches? Thin out the trees.
Did your Thesaurus throw up, Susie?
Care to explain what exactly you mean here, please?
Surprise, it happens at work to at ASD. I you are a public servant, have a degree, served in the military, the people who are politically motivated want to make your life miserable by theft, lying and cheating. Try losing everything because someone in a position in power lied. Welcome to the new era where once bitten twice shy is shame on you once and shame on me twice.
Meets my expectations of our politicians. Classless clowns.
Yundt needs to go and should never have been elected.
Agreed!
Yundt.
What a colossal failure.
He’s the definition of a RINO NeoCon
DoneWithIt
The colossal failure in our midst isn’t Robbie Yundt, he, at worst is merely a sympton of the problem.
The failure is that Alaska has a leadership crisis. Essentially we are dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. The system inwhich we live doesn’t produce leaders, in fact it punishes leadership and promotes incompetence. It has I believe been designed to enable the modern Democrat party.
Credit Yundt one thing, he appears to have been successful in the private sector, something that is sadly missing in a legislative body comprised of unaccomplished and inexperienced dolts looking for a career.
The Alaska Republican Party can be blamed for its failure to mentor young elected leaders like Yundt. Ultimately however the blame lies with you and me, we’ve enabled this circus to go forward. The question before us now, is what are we prepared to do about it?
You are giving Yundt too much credit. Yundt is a bully with a short fuse and has a court record that shows he was even required to take anger management classes. He belongs on the MMA mat, not in the legislature. And also, I second the comment “Poor Rob Yundt, I’m afraid if integrity were dynamite he wouldn’t have enough to blow a fart.” He’s a total frat boy down here and his wife ought to be paying closer attention.
I think they could use some beer pong and leg wrestling for a moral boost!
Yundt is a one term unethical politician. Wasilla deserves better.
3rd strike, not even 6 months. Time to Recall Yundt, we have had enough very poor representation and quit ridiculous performance. He is WAY out of his depth.
Galvin’s staffer should be fired. Plain and simple.
Who is surprised that the left is acting like children? Anyone? Anyone?
Did Sen. Rob Yundt and/or legislative staffer for Rep. Alyse Galvin violate the Professional Workplace Conduct Policy? This policy is two pages and also addresses Prohibited Unprofessional Conduct.
Professional Workplace Conduct Policy Adopted by Legislative Council April 23, 2018. “The Alaska State Legislature is committed to providing a safe and respectful workplace in which all legislators, legislative employees, interns, and third parties are treated with dignity and respect…Disruptive Behavior: behavior that creates an intimidating or offensive work environment for a reasonable person including…”
To the gulags with them !
No Morty, into the light with them!
Move the legislature to Fairbanks, so regular citizens can come and see what they do and give them a piece of their mind….
Some peoples’ children!
OMG, our legislature sounds like it is populated with middle-school bullies!
Rob has turned out to be just another “Dumb Yundt”. So sad.
Democrats, like pigs at the trough.
But they don’t like oil or mining ….. who’s gonna fill the trough?
Tourists?
Staff behavior such as this is totally unacceptable. More details would be nice in order to fairly judge what actually occurred!
Suzanne does more good with a single article than the so-called leaders mentioned here have managed in their entire time occupying space in Juneau. Frankly, they likely lack the capacity to even grasp the damage they’ve done taking up air in the building.
As for Rob—go home and crack a beer with your wrestlers. We’ve yet to see a single newsletter from your office, calls go unanswered to us in the Valley and you’re out the door every weekend while your house turns into a beer-pong frat pad. Hopefully the kids will clean it up good this weekend and leave town with you! Enough already. #akleg
If these toddlers want to play “school-yard” politics then they should suffer “school-yard” consequences: talk trash to the wrong person or talk too much trash, and you get slapped upside the head or punched in the mouth. As I recall, once that lesson was learned it then served as a good deterrent to foster decorum. Too many people are wussified these days: we’ve become soooo physically “civilized” that we now are rampantly “un-civil” in every other way.
